From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 21:16:25 -0500 From: Clint Hepner To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: TCP stalls and VJ compression Message-ID: <20000210211623.B896@cs.dartmouth.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I don't know if this had been resolved yet or not. This is the experience I've had this evening. I've been having problems with stalled downloads, mainly in Netscape, for several weeks now. Also, I've been unable to rsync from linuxcare; rsync would stop once I saw the "receiving file list..." message. I was searching through the archives tonight, and found the recommendation to disable Van Jacobsen header compression on the PPP link. I wasn't sure this would work, though, since I'm not actually running PPP on my machine; I connect over Ethernet through a Mac running IPNetRouter for a PPP dialup. However, disabling header compressoin solved both of my problems: Netscape downloads without stalling, and I can rsync from linuxcare again. I'm running a 2.2.15-pre6 kernel, which I complied myself from source downloaded earlier today. Again, I don't know if this is still an open problem, or if I'm just missing a patch that's already been developed. If anyone is working on this, I'd be happy to give a more detailed account of my setup and the situation before and after my fix.
